“Awesome retreat!!! I absolutely LOVED the retreat. It was my first experience climbing outdoors and it could not have been better. I felt very safe, whereas the other two times I’ve climbed outside since, I felt much more anxious. Thank you for the awesome time.”

“Sabrina did such a good job planning and executing this event. The rock climbing guides were AMAZING. I'd trust my life to them any day. I really liked the climbing focused learning: anchor building, rappelling, etc., was great to learn from experts. The accommodations blew me away and the food was so, so delicious.”
— Megan
“I’ve been curious about using climbing to cross train for races and this was definitively the most kick ass way to try it out. Despite being one of the only inexperienced climbers in the group, everyone went out of their way to answer my questions, give me pointers, and cheer me on. I left with my tank filled to the brim, a ton of new bad ass friends, and a whole other hobby to dive into. So incredibly grateful for this.”

“I have so much to share about my recent camping trip in California. This one is solely to serve appreciation to these special bad ass females in the trip. You all rock and it was such an inspiration to listen to your stories and journey in climbing. Thank you, Sabrina P., for hosting the perfect retreat where female climbers from all levels can openly explore their wild side! Thank you Uprising Adventure Guides for leading all our routes and teaching us the secrets in J Tree! Thank you, Sabrina C., for capturing all the moments in this trip!”
